On weeks such as this, it's really goo to be a child, blissfully unaware of anything in the world but Spongebob Squarepants or a lego set. Sometimes I wonder what's the point in becoming aware of the world when all it does is bring pain and anguish.

Being very childlike myself, I was delighted by the weather and unaware that the House had passed a Heath care/insurance bill.

Part of the joy of eating is overeating. But beyond a certain age you can't do ice cream, or any dessert for that matter, or even three square meals a day, or truth be told even two square meals a day without putting on the pounds. I'm talking about normal people not that tiny percentage blessed with the lean gene. Oh well, there's always memory.

It was a warm day in New England as well. Indian summer. For dinner I made Hawaiian pizza -- the kids favorite. Their side had ham and pineapple, our side had prosciutto and pineapple. In other news, I happily discovered that Drawing Comics the Marvel Way is still in print.
